Six-month t-bill at 5.14%.

I believe if Baddoo was not forced onto the roster via Rule 5, he'd be a hot shot rookie and one of their top prospects this year.

I knew I noticed something on your left hand when you dipped into the pink popcorn drum a few years ago.

We misjudged you. You're not a stupid kid. You're an angy old man.

You can get a couple of decent pizzas for $30!

It costs money to park and eat to go to a game too. The main reason I never go to Fenway anymore is the cost and hassle of getting there.

A trip to the Boston Aquarium costs $34 and Boston is a pretty expensive city.

$50-100 to go to an aquarium? No aquariums for me!

I think not caring and not comprehending go hand in hand.

A mask is marginally effective at preventing spread of the virus. Add up a million marginals and you get a substantial effect. One problem all along has been that so many people are only concerned with whether a mask helps ME and can't seem to comprehend that it might help others. That being said, masks are a pain and I don't wear one any more unless I am told to do so which happens in doctors offices and sometimes at work (when I'm not remote). In those cases, I wear them without complaint.

He speaks like a scientist, very cautiously with no absolutes. If somebody on the left or right took that and put it into their own context that is their fault.

Did lefties think the lab leak was a conspiracy theory or did they think a lab leak engineered together by the Democrats, Fauci and China to take down Donald Trump was a conspiracy theory?

eh, he said, she said...Fauci is by far the public figure I have trusted the must throughout the pandemic (not that he has much competition). People change their mind when they learn things. They sometimes say different things according to the sophistication of the audience.

LOL at Jim jordan questioning the honesty of everyone.

I think some of them understand nuance and scientific thought, but it's of no use to them.

I am in the outer western suburbs, but I think maybe I just have a speech defect that sounds kind of like a Bodton accent. They used to send me to a speech teacher to practice pronouncing R's but it did't work. 😀

Don't worry. Buddha has assured us that MLB's relationship with gambling is nothing to be concerned about.

Scientists are not supposed to report their own opinion. Their job is to throroughly look at all the evidence and make conclusions based on that. A scientist reporting his own opinion would give the appearance that his research was biased and make it difficult to trust him. It's not his job to state personal opinions.

Merck doesn't want you to know the real truth about Ivermectin.

I don't think it was that. I think Trump got mad because Obama roasted him at a big function in front of lots of important people. Thus, he needed to reject everything he did.

I got more sleep! As I have said before, I don't really care how long games last. It's the pace of the game that matters. There has been too much dead time for years.

I agree with that part and I addresed it elsewhere.

You are correct that any potential leaks must be considered in ongoing germ warfare and I think think the most likely have been regardless of whether or not there was a leak this time. Most of the people who were talking about the leak were not talking about it in that vein though. They were using it to be promote the idea that Democrats and China were working together to destroy Trump or to justify their hatred of Asians. It was all nonsense. I didn't see anyone saying we needed to work together as a country to prevent future leaks (whether one happened in this case or not).

I wonder what people in the 60s and 70s did when games were shorter.

I try not to take people like that seriously.
